👨🏿🚀TechCabal Daily – ‘Crypto averts catastrophe’

South Africa has changed its mind about regulating cross-border crypto transfers. The country initially proposed strict controls, requiring crypto transactions to be made through authorized providers, adhering to foreign exchange limits, and being reported to the South African Reserve Bank. However, the government has received numerous comments on the proposal, leading to a shift in approach.

Instead of pre-approvals, the government now aims to verify the legitimacy of transactions and ensure they comply with tax rules. A revised draft will be published for public feedback again.
